Can't toggle LCD brightness when graphic driver is installed

#1 Post by Cola » Sat Sep 22, 2012 1:55 pm

Hi all

I guess the subject describes my problem pretty well, so just in short:

When the AMD graphics driver is installed, I can't toggle the LCD brightness at all. If I uninstall the driver, it works without any problems, but if I then reinstall it again, it stops working immediately.

Anyone in here know a fix for this problem?

Regards
Frederik

Hi, I've already got the latest available driver for the graphics card, V 12.6 IIRC.

Have you tried "system update" to find the latest driver?
